heavy 2-3oz? -- leader -- hook or lure with squid -- leader -- hook with Basstrix -- main line?

Thanks for helping a noob. Congrats on some good catchin'

My feeling is that the hardest part of rock fishing is just finding them, otherwise its pretty easy. There's not much structure out there, i just look for schools on the bottom with my fishfinder.

Also, the setup i use is braid with a swivel attached to maybe 3 ft of monofilament, I use an 8-10 oz weight, depending on the current, bottom hook is like a 5/0 with squid and top hook is the basstrix. Both hooks are attached to the monofilament with just a simple dropper loop setup.

Hope this helps. Good luck out there when you go.

I want to try for some redfish, what depth are you looking for the fish?
